LOVE 



<I Love finds the 
need it fills. 

George Eliot 

o 

<I They who love are but one 
step from Heaven. Lowell. 

o 

What is love? T is nature's treasure; 

'T is the storehouse of her joys; 
'T is the highest heaven of pleasure; 

T is a bliss which never cloys. 

Thomas Chatterton 

o 

<& Some one has written that love makes people believe in 
immortality, because there seems not to be room enough in 
life for so great a tenderness, and it is inconceivable that the 
most masterful of our emotions should have no more than the 
spare moments of a few years. Stevenson. 

o 

<I To love is to ask of another the happiness that is lacking in 
ourselves. Rochepedre. 

o 

<I Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back 
and soften and purify the heart. Washington Irving. 

in 





LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND GOOD CHEER 

I love thee, I love but thee, 

With a love that shall not die 

Till the sun grows cold, 

And the stars are old, 

And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold. 

Bayard Taylor. 

o 

f Love not pleasure; love God. This is the Everlasting 
Yea wherein all contradiction is solved; wherein whoso walks 
and works, it is well with him. Carlyle. 

o 

<f How the Almighty God tears our little passions to tatters . . . 
and works His own ends in spite of them. Hall Caine. 

o 

<I It is a divinity — all that 's worth living for in the world. 

George Meredith. 

o 

<$ A man loved by a beautiful and virtuous woman carries 
with him a talisman that renders him invulnerable; every 
one feels that such a one's life has a higher value than that 
of others. George Sand. 

o 

<& It is folly to pretend that one wholly recovers from a dis- 
appointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar. 

Longfellow.

The lover sees no resemblance except to summer evenings and 
diamond mornings, to rainbows and the songs of birds. 

Emerson. 

o

love stays with us. Love is God. Lew Wallace.

madly, more wisdom will doubtless come to you than if you 
had always loved wisely. Maeterlinck. 

o

Ralph Waldo Trine.

J There 's beggary in the love that can be reckoned.

*i What is it that love does to a woman ? Without it she only 
sleeps; with it, alone, she lives. Ouida.

kill all the blossoms, and yet but a few drops of remorse from 
the watering pan of memory will suffice to make them bloom 
again. Bartley Campbell 

[4] 





LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND GOOD CHEER 

The night has a thousand eyes,

And the heart but one; 
Yet the light of a whole life dies 

When love is done.

loved. Victor Hugo.

Levels all ranks, and lays the shepherd's crook 
Beside the sceptre.

<I We pardon as long as we love. La Roche. 

o 

Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours 

For one lone soul another lonely soul, 

Each choosing each through all the weary hours,

Then blend they, like green leaves with golden flowers, 

Into one beautiful and perfect whole; 

And life's long night is ended, and the way 

Lies open onward to eternal day.

LOVE FRIENDSHIP. AND GOOD ZHEER 

True love 's the gift that God hath given 

To man alone beneath the heaven; 

It is not fantasy's hot fire, 

Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly; 

It liveth not in fierce desire; 

With dead desire it doth not die; 

It is the secret sympathy, 

The silver link, the silver tie, 

Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, 

In body and in soul can bind. 

Sir Walter Scott. 

<J They are right in saying that love must not be argued about, 
that every argument about love destroys love. Tolstoi.

THE HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF 
THE ROAD 

He was a friend to man, and lived in a 
house by the side of the road. Homer. 

o 

There are hermit souls that live withdrawn 

In the place of their self -con tent; 
There are souls, like stars, that dwell apart, 

In a fellowless firmament: 
There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths 

Where highways never ran: 
But let me live by the side of the road 

And be a friend to man. 

Let me live in a house by the side of the road, 

Where the race of men go by — 
The men who are good, the men who are bad, 

As good and as bad as I. 
I would not sit in the s corner's seat, 

Or hurl the cynic's ban, 
Let me live in a house by the side of the road 

And be a friend to man. 

I see from my house by the side of the road, 
By the side of the highway of life, 

The men who press with the ardor of hope, 

The men who are faint with the strife. 

[261 






LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND GOOD CHEER 

But I turn not away from their smiles nor 
their tears — 

Both parts of an infinite plan; 
Let me live in my house by the side of the road 

And be a friend to man. 

I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead, 

And mountains of wearisome height; 
That the road passes on through the long afternoon, 

And stretches away to the night. 
But still I rejoice when the travellers rejoice, 

And weep with the strangers that moan, 
Nor live in my house by the side of the road 

Like a man who lives alone. 

Let me live in my house by the side of the road 

Where the race of men go by — 
They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are 
strong, 

Wise, foolish — so am I. 
Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat, 

Or hurl the cynic's ban? 
Let me live in my house by the side of the road 

And be a friend to man. 

Sam Walter Foss. 

o 

<I At whatever value a man sets on himself, at that value he 
should be estimated by his friends. Cicero.

any who love you, cling to them and thank God.

Fast as the rolling seasons bring 

The hour of fate to those we love, 
Each pearl that leaves the broken string 

Is set in Friendship's crown above.

The circle widens in the sky; 
There are the treasures that remain, 

But those are stars that beam on high.

LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND GOOD CHEER 

It is easy enough to be pleasant 
When life flows by like a song, 
But the man worth while is the man who can smile 

When everything goes dead wrong; 
For the test of the heart is trouble, 

And it always comes with the years, 
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth 
Is the smile that shines through tears. 

Ella W. Wilcox.

But alone you must drink life's gall.
